Max Havelaar

Japanese: マックス・ハーフェラール(英語表記)Max Havelaar
Max Havelaar
A novel published in 1860 under the pen name Murtatulli by Dutch novelist Douwes Deckel, based on his experiences working as a colonial official in West Java. The novel deeply shocked the Netherlands as it exposed the harsh exploitation of natives by Dutch colonial officials and indigenous chiefs in the mid-19th century, and is said to have been one of the catalysts that led to the abolition of the forced cultivation system, a colonial policy at the time. The tragic love story of Saija and Adinda depicted in the novel depicts the life of a young man who resists harsh rule and dies, and had a strong influence on later Indonesian nationalists.

オランダの小説家ダウエス・デッケルが,植民地官吏として西ジャワで勤務した体験をもとに,ムルタトゥーリという筆名で1860年に発表した小説。この小説は,19世紀半ばのオランダ植民地官吏と原住民首長の過酷な収奪の実態を暴露したものとして,オランダ本国に深刻な衝撃を与え,当時の植民地政策である強制栽培制度を廃止に導く一つの契機になったといわれる。また,この小説に描かれた〈サイジャとアディンダの悲恋物語〉は,過酷な支配に抵抗して死んでいく若者の生涯を写して,後のインドネシア民族主義者に強い影響を及ぼした。
